Q. Can I use the 10% Niacinamide Serum if I have normal skin? How will it be beneficial?
Yes. You can use our 10% Niacinamide Cica Serum for normal skin as well. Even though the serum has been curated to treat acne, excess oil & pigmentation, for normal skin like yours, it will only further refine your skin texture & make it appear healthier.
Q. How does 10% Niacinamide serum visibly minimize the pores?
A. Over the years of research, Niacinamide is clinically proven to minimize the appearance of pores. Our 10% Niacinamide serum has been curated to control excess oil with 2x efficacy. The serum penetrates deep to unclog pores of excess oil, thereby eventually reducing the appearance of pores when used regularly, twice a day. It restores pore functioning, soothes skin & improves overall skin texture.
Q. Is 10% Niacinamide Cica serum suitable for sensitive skin?
A. Yes! Our serum contains ingredients like Cica, Niacinamide & 3% Tranexamic Acid, all of which come together to control acne breakouts and soothe irritation, redness & skin inflammation, making it great for sensitive skin as well.
Q. What's the benefit of 3% Tranexamic in the serum?
A. The concentration of 3% Tranexamic in this serum boosts the bioavailability of Niacinamide which further makes this effective against concerns like hyperpigmentation, dark spots & pore appearance.
Q. Suggest me a routine with this serum & other Dot & Key Products?

Q. Can I use niacinamide and vitamin C together?
A. Yes, niacinamide and vitamin C can be used together. In fact, when used together, both provide brilliant results for fading the look of sun-induced discolourations. However, make sure to follow it up with sunscreen before going out in the sun.
Q. Can I use Niacinamide 20% Treatment with other products containing niacinamide?
A. Yes, you can use the 10% Niacinamide Cica Serum with other niacinamide products. It can be a toner, a face cream and even a sunscreen, layering them in order from thinnest to thickest texture.
Q. Can niacinamide cause sensitivity, redness or irritation?
A. Niacinamide typically doesn’t cause redness, sensitivity or irritation. However, some people may experience brief flushing when pure niacinamide and vitamin C are used together. This combination can convert niacinamide to niacin, which may trigger temporary redness. However, if this continues, you may discontinue using these two activies together & choose to use them in separate routines.
Q. Can I use this every day?
A. Yes, you can safely use this serum every day. Our serum is free of harmful chemicals and irritants as we aim to provide you best results backed by clean ingredients & cleaner formulations. Applying this serum every day daily will provide the most consistent results.
Q. Is this serum better for morning or night?
A. For best results, you can use niacinamide in the morning and at night. You can also alternate its use if you find that works better for you.
Q. What I cannot mix with niacinamide?
A. While there are a lot of myths and misinformation about which ingredients you supposedly can’t mix with niacinamide, research shows that you can use niacinamide with retinol, vitamin C, hydroxy acids and other skin care ingredients safely.
Q. Is 10% niacinamide too strong?
A. While 10% niacinamide is potent, it is a concentration that's safe to use. However, it may react differently on different skin. Therefore, we recommend patch testing first, and incorporating it slowly into your routine, watching how your skin responds.
Q. Can I use this serum around the eyes?
A. No! We recommend leaving the eye area and using the serum for the rest of the face & neck.
